Second Conditional | Type Two Conditional Sentences

We use type two conditional for “Unreal Past”. We use “PastSimple Tense” in “If Clause” and in “Main Clause”, generally we use "would + Verb (Present Form)".

Formula:-

                 If + Past Simple + would + Verb (Present Form)

Examples:

• If I went there now, I would meet him.
• If I didn’t go there now, I wouldn’t meet him.
• If I were you, I wouldn’t make him friend.
• If Robert had money, He would definitely give it to you.
• If I got a chance, I would apply for this job.

Use of Past Progressive:-

While making type two conditional sentences, we can also use “Past Progressive Tense” in If Clause.

            e.g :    If Robert was singing song here, Sara wouldn’t be so upset.

Sometimes we also use “were” instead of “was” in If Clause while making second conditional sentences. Specially when subject is “I”. ( e.g : If I were you).

            e.g:     If Robert were singing song here, Sara wouldn’t be so upset.

Use of Could and Might:

In type 2 conditional sentences, we generally use “would” in main clause but we can also “could” or “might” instead of it.

• If we had money, we could go to cinema.
• If you worked hard, you might get first position in class.
